The boat I'm building is from the Guillemot set of plans and is the Guillemot S: http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/guillemot/GS. This is a smaller than average boat because Jan would get lost in a boat the size of my first one. The S is 16 ft in length, 20 inch beam and drafts 3.7 inchs.
My first kayak was a One Ocean Cape Ann Expedition: http://www.oneoceankayaks.com/Kayaks.htm#expedanch. The Expedition is 18.5 ft in length, 22 inch beam and drafts 4.1 inchs. I picked the Expedition because I wanted a big boat that could hold a lot of gear for "Expedition" type adventures. Between the two companies I really like all of the details that One Ocean provides for both building and analysis of materials. Jeff and I got a real Expedition Adventure last fall.
